143 Dependents
"It's just a handkerchief," Miao Feng said, "Let's go and see the ancestral hall in front of us, it's the most lively over there, there are dogs, birds, and mice!" ”
"Wow! You can play anything! Xiao Nan was surprised.
"Don't look at the broken stones." Miao Feng said, if Wanyue hadn't stopped him just now, Xiao Nan would have almost bought a big ore that was said to have rare mineral deposits in it. Those who can be sold in the market are probably deceiving laymen.
"Then I'll invite you to eat sugar gourds." Xiao Nan said, "Eat while walking." ”
"That's what kids eat, right?" Wanyue said embarrassedly.
"I want to eat." Miao Feng didn't know how to turn around, and he was straightforward.
"I have a question, how much money was stolen from you last time?" Xiao Nan asked when he bought sugar gourds.
Miao Feng thought for a while and said, "It's probably as much as the ocean you said, and I've been saving it for a long time." Not! This sweet and sour is delicious! Originally, I wanted to buy a taste last time, but the money was stolen. ”
"Then I'll buy you a few more!" Xiao Nan simply bought him a handful, but it was only the price of a few copper plates, and Miao Feng didn't care about any worldly vision, holding a handful of sugar gourds in one hand.
"I used to live downstairs to sell rock sugar gourds, which are considered intangible cultural heritage, and I use a loudspeaker to play that song every day to sell." Xiao Nan said. In fact, these are Professor Xiao's memories, but he still recalls them so vividly.
A few people tasted rock sugar gourds there, provoking a group of begging children not far away to lick their lips greedily. Wanyue said: "Look, they probably think you have money, they are eyeing you, and they always follow us." ”
At this time, a little girl who was about five or six years old among the beggars came running over with a broken wooden bowl, and without speaking, she watched them eat the sugar gourd with her big pleading eyes.
"Give her one." Miao Feng couldn't help but say.
Wanyue put the sugar gourd that she hadn't had time to eat in her bowl, she was immediately very happy, and ran to her companion with the sugar gourd, and suddenly a group of people ate it one by one.
According to the price here, the sugar gourd is not a cheap thing for ordinary children, because sugar is very valuable, and hawthorn fruit is not cheap to ship. Eating sweet soso snacks is a luxury in itself.
Not to mention these beggars who live by begging.
A sugar gourd was not enough for that group of people, and soon these people devoured it all, and the youngest little girl, unable to snatch the other big children, cried angrily.
Miao Feng bared his teeth, and couldn't help but carry away the hawker's shelf full of sugar gourds, and the hawker was just about to call for the thief, Xiao Nan said, "I'll pack those." ”
Miao Feng came to the group of beggars with a shelf, startled them, and saw Miao Feng cross his waist and say: "I'll give each of you one, but you are not allowed to rob it, you must respect the old and love the young, and let the little ones eat first." ”
They were going to escape, but after all, they couldn't resist the temptation of the sugar gourd, so they obediently stayed and waited for the sugar gourd. Miao Feng asked them to line up and lead them one by one. After distributing the sugar gourd, a child whispered: "Big, big brother, our boss stole your handkerchief, that handkerchief is very beautiful and fragrant, and it will be taken away by the bald dragon, otherwise we will return it to you." ”
"You still have a little conscience, but it's just a handkerchief, it doesn't matter." Miao Feng said.
"Why don't we steal another piece of supplies for you?" The little beggar is quite good at righteousness, and Miao Feng bought them with a handful of sugar gourds.
"Why can't you just find something right to do and steal?" Xiao Nan walked over and asked at this time.
The little beggar looked at each other, staring at each other with big eyes, and finally didn't answer Xiao Nan's question, but dispersed in a hurry.
Maybe that's the atmosphere of this place. The three of them had to turn around and continue shopping, and came to the juggling area that Miao Feng said, only to see that there were more and more noisy people here, all kinds of traditional folk juggling were dizzying, what top cylinder spitting fire chest broken boulder riding a wheelbarrow and walking a tightrope, which made people dizzy.
There is even a martial arts competition in the folk martial arts hall, which is like a martial arts gate.
And most of these died out completely after a hundred years.
Xiao Nan was so excited that she almost screamed.
And the most onlookers, turned out to be a special field, only to see a clearing, some young people and girls wearing very distinctive mountain national costumes are performing animal training - several colorful long-tailed birds are as big as goshawks, as if they are human, under the command of the girl's tactful flute, and the largest bird has a golden feather on the top of its head, the tail feather is elegant like a phoenix, the whole body is snow-white, and it has won the most applause.
This bird Xiao Nan has never seen in any known information, and it is obviously a rare species that has long been extinct!
"What kind of bird is that?!" Xiao Nan asked.
"It is Lingluan, which is said to be a fairy bird born from a phoenix and a golden-winged peng, and it is a rare bird with great spirituality. Although it is very beautiful, it is actually very fierce. Miao Feng said, "As far as I know, only the ancient feather people domesticated this bird and brought it to the battlefield as brothers of the same root.
I didn't expect there to be their remnants. ”
"Wow!" Xiao Nan shouted, "Let's go to the front and see!" It's a fantasy species! ”
At this time, the group of Lingluan, who had been in line for a low-altitude maneuver performance, suddenly swooped into the crowd, accompanied by the girl who commanded the flock of birds, let out a scream, indicating that the flock of birds was out of control!
Everyone was so frightened that they retreated, and Wan Yue also pulled out the gun in her bag and prepared to face the out-of-control birds. However, the flock of birds seemed to have no intention of hurting anyone, and only circled around the three of them.
Xiao Nan stretched out his arm, and the largest pure white spirit luan swooped down, almost flying against his cheek.
It's just that at this moment, Xiao Nan saw the eyes of the big bird, and what was reflected in the eyes of the big bird turned out to be the unopened desolate land of Hongmeng, countless strange giant beasts were still flying in groups in the sky, and bonfires had just risen on the ground.
At that time, a group of Lingluan and "him" galloped together in the clouds, accompanied by "he" over the mountains and mountains to open up the world-
At that time, the newly enlightened mortals hoped to survive in the cruel land that swept away the various giant beasts left behind from the previous era, and Fu Xi gave the mountain-like giants to open up the territory, and the intelligent Lingluan ancestors perched on his shoulders and heads, following him to reclaim the sea and move mountains, witnessing the miracles of God's gift.
Unexpectedly, the ancient memories were passed down from generation to generation through the bloodline of the spirit birds, and they turned out to be ...... I still remember the time with "Pangu"!
The girl who manipulated the spirit bird covered her mouth and looked at him blankly.
What appeared in front of her eyes was the magnificent scene of the beginning of the Taishi that Lingluan's ancestors had seen!
She was able to "channel" with Lingluan, and immediately understood why they were so abnormal and excited!
He's back!
That huge "will"!
Light the fire, give prosperity, sow miracles, and lift mortals up from obscurantism!
She almost used all her strength, and with tears on her face, she called out the name in her native language:
"Ancestral God!! He's back!!! He hears our prayers!! He didn't abandon us! ”
All the Lingluan let out a strange and pleasant cry in unison, and their abnormal sound waves even caused all the matter within tens of meters of the scene to produce ripple-like fluctuations!
A bird that can resonate wonderfully with the power of Fuxi!
——
The wandering migrants have migrated from far away, and almost their entire village has been relocated to longhouses in the crowded slums nearby, struggling to make ends meet, but the tradition has not been abandoned.
The dilapidated longhouses were cleaned, and braziers were lit inside.
After Xiao Nan was taken by these teenagers and girls to the place where they lived, almost all of them were driven out of their places because they shouted excitedly in their dialects as soon as they arrived at the place where the Miao people gathered.
The girl who could communicate with Lingluan excitedly held Xiao Nan's sleeve and led him to their settlement.
After Lingluan showed the strange power of Fuxi for a moment, Xiao Nan immediately became their "guest" who greeted them.
In the narrow corridor of the longhouse, the doors on both sides were full of surprised men, women and children, the girls and teenagers kept shouting to others in their dialects, and a long-bearded old man who seemed to be the oldest, wrapped in a turban, and carrying a very national animal bone cane, led several patriarchs of the clan to meet him.
The girl clasped her hands together and said something to him excitedly, and the old man immediately showed an incredible gaze, scrutinizing Xiao Nan, his eyes flashing with fear and doubt.
At this time, Miao Feng, who was beside Xiao Nan, couldn't help but say in their native language: "Your goddess is right, he is indeed the 'saint' of this generation elected by 'that', 'he' brought you Pangu and Shun, and now 'he' brings this person." ”
"And who are you? Why do you speak our language? The old man asked.
"I'm a fountain keeper of this generation." Miao Feng rolled up his arm, revealing the tattoo on his arm, and shouted, "The only thing I serve is the ancestral god!" ”
Seeing the tattoo, the old man and the elders behind him all showed terrified expressions, and they knelt down one after another, regardless of their age, and even the others around them knelt down.
Xiao Nan couldn't imagine that Miao Feng's identity would be so lofty in these tribes!
"Demigods!" The girl who pulled Xiao Nan also knelt down and called Miao Feng respectfully in Chinese.
Thus the otherwise lifeless gathering place soon became like the grandest of festivals, with everyone dressed in the most solemn costumes, torches lit, and a simple but solemn ancient ceremony to welcome the gods.
Xiao Nan and Miao Feng were greeted to the sacred seat in the longhouse temporarily built by the patriarch, and the fire rose in front of them, these remnants of the god dynasty who still preserved the traditions of their ancestors in ancient times, as innocent and awe-inspiring as they were ten thousand years ago, using all their methods to express their reverence, singing and dancing, all kinds of national musical instruments sounded in unison, even in the aisle outside the house, they were full of pious people kneeling on the ground.
To Xiao Nan's surprise, they quickly brought dozens of pots of various chickens, fish, meat and eggs, as well as piles of silverware and belongings, and even flowers and brocades in simple bowls and basins, as if they wanted to devote all their financial and material resources to please the gods.
Even so, the patriarch still knelt in front of them in fear, saying something in the native language.
Miao Feng translated: "They asked, do you want to carry out human sacrifice. All ten babies are ready. ”
"No, no, no! Fu Xi didn't mean that kind of thing originally, it was all misinterpreted by mortals! Xiao Nan hurriedly vetoed.
"The mercy of the ancestral gods cannot be measured by the cruelty of mortals." Miao Feng then conveyed to these people, "Human sacrifice is against natural morality. ”
The kneeling people in the room were so frightened that they began to pray, for fear of angering the gods.
Even so, the tributes to the ancestral gods were still sent to them in a steady stream.
Xiao Nan looked at such a tribe that has now been reduced to wandering in a foreign land, and even street performers, being able to come up with so many tributes is equivalent to a suicidal sacrifice, and it is estimated that tomorrow it will be completely drunk by the northwest wind. So he said, "What do you wish to pray for?" ”
After Miao Feng heard what the elder said, he said, "They think that their current life is very satisfying, and they just want to make the ancestral god happy. In fact, I think that instead of using so many tributes, it is better to let you go and watch the juggling, which is probably quite enjoyable. ”
"It's that simple?!" Xiao Nan was surprised.
“…… It seems to be. They don't have as many thoughts and desires as the Han people, and they think that they are very satisfied if they can live. Miao Feng picked up a bowl of water and wine and said, "Although thousands of years have passed, they are still grateful for the miracles of the ancestral gods. It seems to be the tradition and oath left by their ancestors, saying that they will be forever grateful to the ancestral gods-
Although mortals have short lives, their ancient vows have been kept to this day.
Even if you say you want their lives, they will give it to you. ”
"............" Xiao Nan pondered for a long time before he said: "These people can be regarded as my dependents and believers!" So many unemployed people to solve!
Let's start a business! ”
"What are you going to do?" When Miao Feng heard this, the bowl in his hand couldn't help but tremble. Xiao Nan seems to be stable and elegant, but in fact, his mind is full of whimsical things! I don't know when I'll get rid of that kind of thing!
Xiao Nan stretched out his finger and pointed at the tribute and said: "The secret Miao medicine of the Yumin Miao clan comes from the 100,000 mountains, the platinum in the tonic, the man's gas station, we need a marketing brand that blows to the sky!" In this way, the problem of unemployment is solved! Everyone in this tribe can be a technical consultant and labor force in our pharmaceutical factory! ”
At this time, Miao Feng completely squirted out the water and wine that he had just drunk into his mouth.
It deserves to be him.
"You help me translate, the following are the words I want to convey to them-" Xiao Nan said, "In this era, just living is irresponsible to future generations, and if you want to get a good life, you have to rely on your own hands to work, not only to be well fed and clothed, but also to enrich your brains......"
Xiao Nan began to preach Amway daily.
"The mountain people only need to eat enough...... Miao Feng muttered.
"No! Those capitalist white leftists do not allow the development of indigenous peoples, and they say that they preserve traditional culture, but in fact they only satisfy their own boring feelings, and do not let people use water and electricity at home, or the lofty face of the colonial master, how hateful! Why don't you let people enter modernization! Xiao Nan complained, "What I said is Fuxi's wishes, I want to get these dependents out of poverty!" ”
Miao Feng glanced at him obliquely and drank the rest of the wine.
